Beschreibung
This collection of writings explores European borders from the
15 th century to the present. The territorial scope of
these studies ranges from the Arctic Ocean and Scandinavia to Central
Europe. In these papers, borders are understood not only as separating
lines in the terrain, but also as socially constructed divisions in
people’s choices, speeches, actions and memories. Borders are not only
drawn: they are imagined, negotiated and remembered.
